Comment(s): Odiorne came to Paris in 1924. Despite the new photographic modernism emerging all around him, Odiorne preferred to work in a more traditional style. He captured a romantic, classical vision of Paris in the 1920’s. His images are pictorial – soft focus and impressionistic. [28048-2-300-NA]
